{"product_id":"9781138980600","title":"Max Weber's 'Science as a Vocation' (Routledge Library Editions: Social Theory)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMax Weber’s lecture ‘Science as a Vocation’ is a classic of social thought, in which central questions are posed about the nature of social and political thought and action. The lecture has often taken to be a summation of Weber’s thought. It can also be argued that, together with the responses of its admirers and critics, it provides a focus for discussion of the nature of modernity and its political consequences, and of the philosophical and political implications of the social or human sciences. This volume provides a full, clear, revised translation of the lecture, together with translations from the German of key contributions to the lively debate that followed its publication. The book concludes with a substantial essay on the current significance of the lecture, which discusses its relevance to the debates about the nature of science as a cultural phenomenon; the disjunction between science and nature; Weber’s conception of the disenchantment of the world; the division of scientific labour; and the fundamental nature and place of sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48730361889003,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":126.33,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781138980600-1.jpg?v=1781659690","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781138980600","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
